N?rtll Carolina Voters To Vote For Black Woman get a chance to vote for a black woman for the North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction in the No vember 2nd general election Evelyn Tyler, Republican candidate joins Asa T. Spauld ing, Jr. as the only blacks in contention for major state wide office. Both are Republi cans. Spaulding is a candidate for Secretary of State. Ms. Tyler, a former mem ber of the Board of Education, announced that she will seek Rie post September 28, but insists that she has a chance against, Craig Phillips, in cumbent Superintendent that has the advantage of a pri mary election to get his staff organized. While a member of the Board of Education Ms. Tyler and Phillips often were on opposing sides of. hot issues but at a press conference called by the well poised stateswoman on October 4th no election issues were dis W 4 a. cussed, ms. Tyler did intro duce Ms. Phyllis Berry, as Campaign Director for the Tyler Campaign. Ms. Berry, a Democrat from Fayetteville, criticized the Democratic Party of North Carolina and, breaking away from the party line, said “I think it is time to vote for the best woman.” She was critical of the Democratic Party for Howard Lee, Lillian Woo, and Jessie Rae Scott failing to get a majority of votes cast in the September 14th runoff. Mrs. Berry said that her support for both Tyler and Spaulding was indication to the Democratic Party that blacks and women “will no longer be taken for granted.” Ms. Tyler said that she expects 45 to 50 percent of the vote and will spend very little money. When asked where that support would come she said that she would draw on her contacts with educators and the contacts of campaign usvji Says: Blacks, Whites Gain But Disparity Remains WAbHINGTON-Both black and white Americans improv ed their social and economic conditions during the 1960’s, but "a substantial disparity’’ remains between the races, according to an article in Farm Index, a magazine pu blished by the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture (USDA). The article was based on a study by David L. Brown, USDA’s Economic Research Service. Both whites and minorities made advances in education from 1960 to 1970, and level of attainment was greater in metropolitan areas. For ex ample, whites 425 and older averaged 12.2 years of school in urbanized areas, compared with 10.8 years in rural areas and small towns. For racial minorities, the range was from 18!5 to 7.4 years. Racial differences in social and economic status were greater in rural areas and small towns than in metropoli tan centers, the study showed. This can be explained, in part 1 by the fact that metropolitan areas have larger minority populations and therefore of fer greater opportunities for racial minority professionals, businessmen, and other skil led workers to be supported by the minority population, the study noted. ‘ Between I960 and 1970, the median age of whites was greater than that of racial minorities in both metropoli tan and non-metropolitan areas, although this differen tial was considerabley higher in less urbanized counties,” the Farm Index article said. “Throughout the decade, mi norities averaged five years younger in cities, and 8 to 10 years younger in less urbaniz ed areas...One reason for the larger percentage of young minorities...” Family income was on the upswing in the Sixties in all residence categoreis and for both races, although racial minorities improved their lots worker Lucile Joslin, a former worker for the North Carolina Association of Educators. PACE, the political arm of the NCAE will not become a part of the campaign. At least that is what Ms Tyler said. One of PACE’s functions is to endorse candidates based on how they are perceived to represent the interest of edu cators. ^- - 1 World 4/ Series Quasar TV Specials C Cl - - • ■■ __ • i*. . v«* “ITS A SONY” KV-5100 Sony Trinitron features l °n S'" Syslem <°"« 9U"/one ten,) ’ “ '' £“"°<l9ick pow„ J,ng ;d,r,r„,/D,“„7^r;y^-d^P The easiest way E.'phon, included tO CatTy 8 tUtte _ “WHERE SERVICE AFTER THE SALE IS A FACT4* • SHARP *TAPPAN • HY-GAIN • KITCHENAID • gibson __ _ • rca 13 V-^ T3 • hoover • SONY |1 £\r • rC • PANASONIC^. •HITACHI • QUASAR ELECTRONICS*SYLVANIA 3410 WILKINSON BLVD.
